IF Guild Wars 2 was P2P (Monthly subscription) would you still play?

[Cludo]

Just a tad curious, Would you still play if Guild Wars 2 was a monthly subscription game like WoW?

I don't think i would, Unless if got really good reviews and ratings 1 month after release.

I think I would.

I used to pay for WoW up until a few months ago. I was okay with that, as I enjoyed myself when I played.

GW2 looks to do everything WoW does, but better. Hence, I reckon I'd be okay with paying a sub fee for it too. Just bonus that I dont have to.

[Cludo]

nope.avi .

I was just adding in a poll. You replied to quickly! :P

[trakbob]

Probably by the looks of it, but I wouldn't have pre-purchased it though. I would've waited till the reviews were up, or till I got feedback from friends.

[nixcookies]

Yes haven't looked forward this much to a game in a long time, so it's payment model wouldn't really be an issue as long as it was affordable.

No, my personal thoughts on this game is that it will be a purely pvp game for me. Therefore i will play it seldom where I have nothing else to do. The 1 time fee is what makes it special in my mind, if I don't have the money to pay for WoW one month or i am trying to limit myself (such as now until MoP is released) i have another good MMO to play in the mean time and not have to worry about a sub fee.

[Zao]

Since you almost always get a free month with MMOs I would still buy it and decide if it's worth the money after my free month was up.

[vizzle]

I would not.

[Squirrelbanes]

It may be because all the games that I have played that have vertical gear progression had sub fees, but that's just what I associate sub fees with.
As GW2 doesn't have it, it would just feel.....well, weird.
Would it stop me playing? No, probably not...at least for like 6 months or so or until I run out of things to do. If I ever do.

But yh, it just doesn't seem to fit with the design for me.

[purefury]

i might pay for 3months and do intense gaming then quit.
it seems without raiding subscription wouldnt be good choice

[Lillpapps]

I have always felt that the design of the game is more in line with MOBA and FPS games where you can log in whenever you want and play as much as you want without having to worry about stuff like your gear being outdated. You play the game because you find it fun and you can put down the game whenever its not fun.
P2P games kinda removes the feature of play when you feel like it to me.

[Ogretron]

No, but that's only because I don't think I'll pay a subscription for another game again. I don't like the feeling of thinking "Ugh, I haven't had time to play in a few weeks, there's $15 down the drain". I'm sure I would play for a month or two, but forcing myself to play just to get my monies worth would shorten the enjoyment I get.

[Deleted]

Yes; however, I would cancel all my other subscriptions and probably cut back on buying single player games for a good couple of months at least to make up for it.

I'm glad I don't have to do that.

[theredviola]

That's one of the biggest factors for me to play GW2, so I would have to say no. What I might do is try one of their "free weekends" or demo, or what ever, after release and decide at that point. But chances are that I wouldn't be playing GW2 if it had a sub.

[Lucky_]

If it will be a game worth playing, yes. If it's not, no.

B2P and P2P are not very different in my eyes, I have enough disposable income to pay premium for a product I enjoy. I am quite anal about not paying for a product I do not enjoy however.

[Rawt]

I havent had the chance to play one second of the game yet, so i really cant answer that.

[Zeek Daniels]

Sorry GW2 i love you but my sub money goes to WoW only.

[Malthurius]

I would have to wait to see if it was worth it, option 3.

I've done that with all other MMOs that have a sub fee. Since GW2 doesn't, I don't feel bad poping on the purchase because I don't have to pay any more than the box price to enjoy it.

In short; if it was good and had a sub fee, I'd buy it after launch. Since it doesn't, I pre-purchased.

No. But not because I don't think GW2 is worth it, I've also unsubbed from WoW. I'm sick and tired of P2P. It's something that was necessary a long time ago perhaps, but nowadays it is just greed IMO.

You're saying that in-game shops, that put some players above others in all forms are better?
I like P2P format, because you get the chance to be equal with everyone. And you wont miss anything. So yeah, if GW2 was P2P, I would even have more reasons to play it.
